Reviews

This is a solid job of scholarship and makes a number of important contributions to the field of railroad history. -Craig Sanders, author of Amtrak in the Heartland Just the right length to be both a reference book for a historian, and a book read by someone who would have a general interest in railroad history. -James A. Welton, retired Soo Line Director of Labor Relations Anyone with an interest in the iron ore roads or the Soo Line in particular will want this book. -Railfan & Railroad This excellent presentation is a must read for any Michigan railway enthusiast. -Michigan Railfan, March - April, 2009
